If you had read that wall of text, the error was that the new version of
ext4 supported stuff the wheezy version didn't and it recommended
getting an updated e2fs-utils, which of course is not available in a
wheezy repo.
So I reboot to a different installer supplied by the linuxcnc people, and
installed it. Weird, I had access to the network, and could download
updates, but when I looked in /dev/ no sign of either eth0 or enp0s8.
Installed some more stuff with aptitude,logged out and rebooted to that
install, and now my network is dead.
So, working from a terminal, I've tried to configure it manually, and
that fails, so I am now back on wheezy, which Just Works. And I've no
quick and dirty way to copy/paste those errors after a reboot, isolating
that filesystem from wheezy.
If you want to help, give me a link to a printable tut on how to make a
working static, host based for local lookups, but uses my router, which
in turn will forward the dns requests it cannot answer from dnsmasq, to
real servers on the outside network, like my isp's network. On stretch.
I've read the gibberish man page for ip & friends, since ifconfig is
gone, and apparently so it route, but gibberish is the correct term
when there is not a working example line in the whole man page just to
prove it works.
So I've zero network troubleshooting tools when booted to stretch. And
you are giving me what for, but zero help.
So show me a tut which I can use to make it work, Mike.
